Supermicro Launches 4W and 8W Atom Server Solutions
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 4 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Extreme Low-Power & Quiet Server Building Block Solutions for Embedded
IPC with Three Expansion Slots
Super Micro Computer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMCI), a leader in
application-optimized, high performance server solutions, today announced the
launch of 4-watt and 8-watt Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor-based Server Building
Block Solutions(R). These extreme low-power and quiet solutions deliver the
best expansion and storage features of any Atom-based platform and are
designed for embedded industrial PC (IPC) applications.
These quiet, energy saving solutions make ideal storage and network
appliances or print and email servers. In addition, Supermicro's mini-tower
chassis with advanced user-friendly design features create a very
cost-effective home or office workstation for basic computing including
Internet usage, office and educational applications.
"Bringing the low-power consumption advantages of Atom processors to the
server appliance market empowers our customers with energy-saving, quiet
solutions that provide flexible expansion and storage features previously
unattainable with Atom solutions," said Charles Liang, president and CEO of
Supermicro.
Optimized for the single-core Atom 230 processor, which consumes only 4
watts of power, Supermicro's cost-effective X7SLA-L platform supports up to
four SATA ports with RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, along with seven USB 2.0 headers, 2
GB DDR2 memory, Intel GMA 950 graphics and a Gigabit Ethernet port. For more
performance-intensive applications, the high-end X7SLA-H integrates the
dual-core Atom 330 processor, which consumes 8 watts of power and expands
upon the features of the X7SLA-L with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, an
additional onboard Type A USB 2.0 connector and an extra internal serial
port.
Weighing only ten pounds and with a depth of 9.8 inches, Supermicro's
mini-sized 5015A SuperServers feature a high-efficiency, quiet power supply,
two internal hard drives, and a full-height, half-length expansion card
option. The fan-less design of Supermicro's SC502-200B chassis enables silent
operation and minimizes system power consumption.
For greater expansion and storage features, Supermicro offers the
SuperServer 5035A, which supports four hot-swap drive bays and three add-on
cards. This server features a high-efficiency 300-watt power supply that has
earned the 80-Plus(R) Bronze level certification for achieving 85%+ power
efficiency. The system's mini-tower chassis (SC731i-300B) also includes a
host of user-friendly design features for easy installation. These
quick-and-easy features include a toolless side panel, toolless drive bays,
90-degree pivoting hard disk drive cage, and stamped motherboard support (no
standoffs required). This small footprint server also supports two external
5.25" bays and Kensington lock security to safeguard the system.
